'Liberté' Gets New Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on May 9, 2023 @ 9:41 a.m. PDT

Liberté is a deck-builder roguelite inspired by the French Revolution and body horror.

Brave the war-torn streets as Rene - a regular Parisian entangled in a massive intrigue between the four most influential factions in the city. Collect cards, nurture alliances and discover the truth behind the city’s cryptic invader from another dimension, Lady Bliss.

It’s the middle of a history-defining moment for 18th-century Paris. Without the king, with the crown missing, you wake up in a world ravaged by Lady Bliss - an otherworldly being that appeared out of nowhere during the coronation of Prince Phillip. Lady Bliss wants you to find her a worthy queen or king. Why, out of all the people in Paris, a grey citizen like Rene is destined to find the next ruler?

Mix and match from over 100 Skills and Talents cards. Go full-on guns-blazing, cut your way out with blades and axes, hit your enemies with a guitar, and sing the revolutionary song! Lead Rene in his human form or use the skin-shifter ability to play as one of the characters - Master Hunter Victor, Tribal Warrior Flea, or Revolt Leader Ana. You’ll encounter mighty enemies too, and face the curses of the Bliss, so make sure to come to the battlefield prepared.

Lady Bliss came out of nowhere and nestled hidden in the Bliss - a Cronenbergian netherworld that only you can access. Guarded by the all-mighty Eldritches, the gardens of the Bliss are dangerous places. But as you do the monster’s bidding, you will uncover the mystery of who Lady Bliss is and why she chose you for her secret mission.

Inspired by the real French Revolution events, characters, and architecture, Liberté pulls you into a world on the brink of annihilation. Over more than 40 hours of gameplay, you will witness body horrors, participate in political maneuvers, and attempted assassinations, and see Madam Guillotine leaving a trail of blood.


Origfinally planned to leave Early Access on April 6, 2023, Liberté is now scheduled for May 23, 2023.

"Compared to Early Access, the Final Release will include multiple gameplay & quality-of-life improvements, upgraded boss battles, and more! We added some key elements to the plot, resulting in a longer gameplay time. But something we were especially tempted to share is partial Voice Overs that will complement the game's rich story. We've worked with excellent voice actors that fit perfectly with how we perceived our characters!"

Key Features:

  • Action Roguelite meets deckbuilder - players unlock cards and build decks that unlock skills, passives and game changing mechanics to make their avatars stronger
  • Four unique factions to support – choose the side of a conflict to unlock additional rewards
  • Greatly varied enemies and advanced AI - Trained soldiers fight in formations, Tribesmen protect their Shamans, Rebels use fire to cut off enemies, etc
  • A unique setting - Revolutionary France mixed with body horror theme
  • Mature storyline, with complex, shades-of-gray characters and horror elements
  • Full controller support

Currently available through Steam Early Access, Liberté will fully launch on May 23, 2023.
